Description Thomas Lendo 2017-03-08 13:12:29 UTC
The document canvas view jumps back to the comment box where the cursor is positioned when you're viewing another part of the document and then going to any other open window and back.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Writer document with some pages.
2. Add a comment on the first page, let the cursor in the comment box.
3. Scroll down to another page.
4. Switch to any other open window.
5. Go back to the Writer document.

Actual result:

The document canvas view jumps back to the cursor.

Expected result:

The document canvas view should stay where it was before switching the window.

Maybe computer newbies are happy that they have not to search for the cursor position or the comment where they are in with the cursor. But during normal workflow it has a reasonable cause to go outside the comment and then switching window and then going back to the document showing the document canvas view where you were before switching windows. (In any way you can found out where your cursor is by typing a letter or an arrow key at the keyboard.)

Use case of the bug opener for OpenOffice.org in 2010:

[...] I would love if this jump does not happen. It often happens, that I scroll down to a specific position in the document and then need to look-up something in the web-browser. As soon as I switch back to writer the position of the document jumps back to the comment and I need to scroll down again.


PS: Maybe that is a relic of the many "view jump bugs" from old OOo times. I remember that there were several fixes in OOo 3.2 and OOo 3.3 for jump issues.

Dear Thomas Lendo,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
